Andrew Kessler, author of MARTIAN SUMMER: Robot Arms, Cowboy Spacemen, and My 90 Days with the Phoenix Mars Mission, talks about his three months--with 130 top NASA scientists and engineers--in mission control of the Phoenix Mars expedition. The Phoenix was sent to study the history of water and habitability potential in the Martian arctic's ice-rich soil.
